From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh hell yes, hyperlinks! No more weird kitty alias to inject hyperlinks

How much could performance even improve?

Seriously. I'd be interested in the benchmarks

Edit. I should have looked closer. They have the benchmarks on the GitHub.

Yeah, and the answer is quite a bit for some cases.
